Re: [pdt-dev] Validators problem - Ganymede/PDT 2

[ken <pdt@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Also, I don't know if this information will make a difference, but the codebase I am working against contains a trunk + 2 nearly identical branches, with the trunk and each branch in its own project. Windows reports the trunk as having 29k files and 8.7k folders which occupy over 1gb of disk space, so Eclipse is responsible for roughly 90k files (many of which are not code, but images, etc.). Would this matter? Europa + PDT 1 seems to handle it all great.

Hi Ken, thank you for providing this information.

 

The "as you type" validation is an Eclipse Web Tools mechanism that operates on open editors of html + php content and validates against syntax.

The Dynamic Toolkit validation is provided by DLTK project and we currently doesn't use it in PDT.

The HTML validation page specifies the rules that are checked during validation of html code.

Another validation that may operate is the _javascript_ Validtor if you enable JS support in your project.

 

Regarding the problem you mention, I guess we should understand which validator runs. It can be done by opening the progress view and see which one operates.

Subject: [pdt-dev] Validators problem - Ganymede/PDT 2

 

I apologize in advance if I am making a noob mistake, or if this isn't the proper place to ask this, but I have traced down a severe performance issue with Eclipse+PDT that seems to stem from the HTML validators constantly validating my files. It grinds my machine to a halt, prevents other tasks from starting (tasks that *I* actually want to run), and is just generally annoying. I am trying to disable this functionality, and I know that it's possible because I did so previously with my 3.3/PDT 1.x install.

I imported my preferences from my old setup, which did not disable the validation, so I turned to the Eclipse website where I found the following instructions:

http://help.eclipse.org/stable/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.doc.user/topics/tjvaldisable.html

I am now stuck. See attached screenshots for my situation, and also I'm attaching my logfile. Thanks in advance, and please let me know if you need more info.
